The AnK-150A is a fully unmanned quadrupedal combat walker, and is armed with a pair of multi-barrel autocannons mounted on pneumatic crane-arms. It can also be equipped with medium-range vertical launch siege missiles. It also has the ability to transform into a cube when on standby, which looks like an ordinary container, adding an infiltration element.

A top secret project still in the conceptual phases, Jade Tigers first mech has yet to even be named. However, a concept sketch has been leaked:
Image
It would appear to be a multi-terrain unit, likely remote operated and possibly intended as infantry support, though it is hard to be certain given how little is actually known about the project.

Reichsland's military briefly poured a large sum of money into developing a suit of mechanized infantry armor. When the time came for unveiling the prototype, the lead developer showed us this. We immediately fired him, cancelled the program, and burned everything that pertained to said program.

Hey guys, looking for an image of a mech with this sorta description, can anybody help? (Yes... I've tried google, many times):

A legged design, the 3 oversized front legs are designed as giant shields, behind which infantry can take cover when assaulting fortified positions, advancing slowly under the suppression fire provided by two independently aimed 20mm autocannons. 2 smaller legs at the rear act to steady the UCV as it takes oncoming fire. The legs are built to withstand hits from all small arms fire and most shoulder fired RPGs, at a push, they might even be able to take a glancing shot from a tank.

Yes, I know it may not be a very realistic design. Not a problem in my region.

If somebody does know of an image like it, please TG me a link or something :)

Thanks!

Height: 3m

I might be able to lineart you one, but it might be a couple of weeks before I can get started. From your description this is an MT/early PMT vehicle, yes?

Hinged, open/closeable missile pods seem a bit silly, even for a mech. What if there's a short in the opening mechanism, or the motor that operates the doors burns out? You lose most of your offensive capability to a simple electrical problem which is going to happen at some point through general wear and tear. And Murphy being Murphy, you know it's going to happen at the most inconvenient time, right after your mech has lumbered off from the base where all the engineers and spares are and right before you're about to unleash a hail of missiles on your selected target.

What kind of corrosive weather do you have that your missiles need to be protected from but your mech's outer skin can survive?

Wrong question. The right question would be what kind of corrosive weather he has that his missiles need to be protected from when loaded that will magically stop being a threat to them once they are fired.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

Both images are the prototype designs from the first 2 models made beforehand, which had the pod doors, the modernized versions of the F-6t Bigfoot and B-3x Hotshot don't actually have the pod doors (they did for the original designs and games they came from, but eventually are removed since they are seen as unnecessary)

The missile being fired has a limited lifespan. It go up in de air. It come down on de bad guy. It go boom. Bye-bye, missile. It would probably survive long enough to get where it's going.

Regrettably...this thing
Image
Length (Body): 2.50 m
Height: More than 15 meters
Width: 5 m
Max speed: 80 kph
Armor: Super-Heated aluminum placed with Carbon (Artificial Diamond), and added-on armor plates in our upgrade.
Main Armament: Photonic Directed Energy Cannon
Secondary Armament: Since Black Smoke would be a Chemical weapon, and we signed a treaty...we replaced the Smoke Launcher with a heavy rocket launcher.
Added on things: Apart from fitting in chaff grenades, we added an electronic counter-measures system, and an added on 7.62mm Machine Gun. Believe it or not, the oldest model actually had an added on DShK on the mounting.
Used Since: Classified...but they were apparently sold as scrap by the British who had an excess of these.
Hey hey, LP here: Too burnt out with this nation to make new lore or fix macrohistorical longue durée alt-his inconsistencies, too clingy to let it die.

The Type 09 is a brand new (still being tested) mech developed secretly by the National Army. Information is classified.
The mechs are armed with a 12 cell rocket launcher, 3x 20mm autocannon fitted on top and an advance, solid state laser weapon.

Currently, ~9 have been built.

I have to seriously ask what it is that's worth fighting over in such an environment.

War is seldom logical. In 1939, Germany's #1 trading partner was... France.

Maybe they said his leader stank of oxygen. Maybe they tried to xenoform his home planet. Who knows?

As a rule thou when you meet a place that is so obviously unlivable you should just nuke it from orbit rather than fighting over it. After all why preserve something you can't use?
